Jessica Simpson Sacrifices Style for Her Pregnancy

Ask any woman who has been pregnant about style, and she will tell you that it's hard to look fashionable while pregnant. Sure, there are some ladies who have it easy and breeze through pregnancy with perfect hair, makeup, and style. Then, there are mommies who have a slightly more miserable nine months of pregnancy and learn to sacrifice style for their pregnancy. Singer Jessica Simpson has just joined the latter.

According to Us Weekly, Simpson has ditched high heels for a more comfortable shoe. She tweeted a photo of her flashy flat flip flops and mentioned that she was "practicing" walking in them in the comfort of her home first. As silly as it sounds, transitioning to heels to flats can actually be just as hard as it is to transition from flats to heels — it takes practice!

A source told the magazine, "Jessica is no longer wearing heels. Her feet are swollen and hurt, and high heels hurt her back."

I'm surprised Simpson made it this long with wearing high heels! Even though she is used to walking in them, there is always the chance that she could trip and fall, which is way more dangerous during pregnancy. Not to mention, wearing heels while pregnant just sounds uncomfortable to me.

When I was pregnant with my son, I wore nothing but flip flops (but I wear nothing but flip flops even when I'm not pregnant, so there was no transition period for me.) Believe it or not, though, I did take some flack for wearing the flats. Many people told me that I would need to wear an athletic shoe to get the support that I needed, but I honestly felt fine in my flats.

Surely, Jessica Simpson took some flack for wearing heels this time around (as she did with her first pregnancy), so I can feel her pain on this one. Still, it's great that she is taking care of herself and wearing shoes that will help her through the pregnancy.
